About the book

Lots of anxiety and worry about where the toilet is or how long I have to be in the car without one Will everyone wonder why I have been in there so long? She covers all the horrible things insensitive people say to us, and all the many things we have tried over the years to no avail.

We get hopeful every time we think we might have found something but it never works. I've tied everything she has, except a few and there are a bunch of things I have tried she didn't even mention. Feb 17, Brittany Murray rated it it was amazing. This book is so funny, honest, and raw.

New IBS Book - Sophie's Story: My Year Battle with Irritable Bowel Syndrome

I chose this book because I needed a self help book to help me cope with IBS that struck me 7 months ago. I was getting nowhere with doctors who pooh poohed it as a nervous disorder, told me to relax while I was trying not to go to the bathroom in my pants as my colon was out of control and so was my life.

I liked the book from the cover to the end.

It was wonderful to read a book that was written by a woman who live with this horrible IBS syndrome for 20 years where I was really affected by it for 7 months and didn't know how I was going to cope with this. I would recommend this to anyone who wants help with this syndrome to read it and get answers from someone who has the answer how to cope and live a life without fear or understanding what is happening to you and your way of life.

Very well written, thorough account of the many things that a person who has been diagnosed with IBS has to put up with. This is a book that many of us have probably thought about writing ourselves. IBS is a very misunderstood, under appreciated health condition , both by those who don't have it, and especially the Drs we pay to see to obtain any degree of help with. This book does an outstanding job of describing every aspect of this horrible condition, which seems to be a literal epidemic.

I highly recommend this book. I think going gluten and dairy free are the first steps I should take. Sophie's memoir about growing up with IBS is touching, funny in parts and well written. She brings such a compassionate voice to a topic that millions are suffering from but never get the support they deserve.

Reading Sophie's story will make IBS sufferers feel less alone and inspire them to get help and talk about their issues without shame. One of my favorite lines in the book is the comment about IBS having known treatments. It is definitely an overwhelming condition to deal with. But Sophie finally beat it so there is hope for others to get the bottom of it also!

    • It was personally very helpful to share in another patient's struggles. I especially enjoyed the link to her blog. It helps to be able to identify with another human being. One person found this helpful.

    This is a tale of frustration and resolution. It is a true story of how badly IBS can affect a life, and how it can be resolved by persistence. Ultimately Sophie found her own treatment that worked by constant trial and error. If you are a sufferer, this book can give you hope and determination to find your own cure.

    Sophie's Story is one of the best books I have ever read. I am a IBS suffer for 13 years, this book is truly a breath of fresh air. People who have IBS often feel isolated. Sophie's Story reminds us that "we are not alone". This book will have you laughing and crying at the same time. I highly recommend buying this book you wont regret it!!!!!!!!!!!! I just finished "Sophie's Story" and will be getting more copies for friends and family.
